Our Lady of Lourdes

 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes!

I remember feeling anxious on our pilgrimage ten years ago. 

As I have mentioned before, I feared I would let people down if I was not healed.

 Despite my fears, there was peace in the grotto. 

This hidden grotto, where the Mother of God appeared to St. Bernadette.

"Pause for a moment. Breathe peace in. Where do you need peace?" Allen Hunt 

Our Lady desires to give us peace. 

But the peace she promises is not from this world. 

The peace she promises is eternal. 

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us! 

"Life with God is not immunity from difficulties but peace in difficulties." C.S. Lewis
